Note: Parking requirements shall be rounded to the nearest whole number and in the case of .5 rounded up. In
the case of calculating parking requirements for different land uses and for different types of bicycle parking
(short-stay and long-stay), each requirement is to be rounded to the nearest whole number and in the case of .5
rounded up, before adding together all requirements.

1.2 Where a land use is not listed under Table 1 of this Policy, the parking ratio will be
determined having regard to the objectives of this Policy, similar uses, surrounding
uses and off-site parking availability.
1.3 For shopping centres with a minimum floor space of 1500m2 in which all tenancies
or occupants have assured access to, and use of common car parking area or
areas, parking requirements for the overall centre shall be based on the standard
applicable to 'shops', irrespective of the use of the particular tenancies or individual
occupancies which make up the centre. The area of alfresco dining areas shall be
included in the total floor area.
1.4 In addition to the car parking requirements under Table 1: Parking ratios, parking
spaces for motorcycles, scooters and gophers will be required as calculated based
on 2% of the total number of car parking spaces required (as calculated before
concessions are applied).
1.5 In addition to car and bicycle parking, the Town may require the provision of spaces
marked exclusively for the use of delivery and service vehicles, taxis, and courier
services, where the nature of the development requires specific purpose bays.
Loading and delivering bays shall be located in close proximity to service areas,
and be in accordance with Australian Standard AS2890.2 - Off-street commercial
vehicle facilities (as amended). Specific purpose bays are to be clear of any
obstruction at all times unless otherwise approved by the Town.
1.6 Provision of spaces for persons with a disability in accordance with the Building
Code of Australia and Australian Standard AS2890.6 - Off-street parking for people
with disabilities (as amended) will also be required, where applicable. These are to
be located in a position easily accessible to the main entry of a building and/or any
lifts and ramp facilities.

4
Local Planning Policy 3.13: Parking
1.7 Car parking provision exceeding the requirements specified in Table 1 will generally
not be supported, in order to limit traffic congestion and encourage more
sustainable modes of transport. Where car parking is proposed in excess of the
number of car parking bays required under Table 1 of this Policy, those car parking
bays must be provided as underground car parking and/or undercroft car parking,
screened from view of a street.
2. Reductions to Parking Ratios
2.1 The minimum number of parking bays required under Table 1 of this Policy may be
reduced where the applicant can demonstrate a lessened parking demand based
on one or more of the following criteria:
• Proximity to and suitability of public transport, in particular high-frequency
routes.
• Exceeding policy requirements for the provision of motorcycle, scooter, gopher,
bicycle parking and/or facilities.
• Proximity to and suitability of cycling network.
• Location of the development within a walkable centre.
• Location of the development within a traditional strip centre.
• Marketing and travel behaviour change commitments.
• Provision of desirable ground floor uses in mixed use developments
2.2 Applicants seeking reductions to parking ratios are required to submit;
• a detailed written statement addressing one or more of the criteria outlined at
provision 2.1,
• a detailed written statement addressing each of the objectives of this Policy,
and
• a Parking Management Plan, detailing the strategies to be employed to manage
parking demand and encourage alternative modes of transport for the Town's
assessment.
3. End of Trip Facilities
3.1 Where developments are required to provide long-stay bicycle parking as per Table
1 above, the provision of end of trip facilities is also required, in accordance with
Table 2: End of trip facilities, unless otherwise stated within this Policy or approved
by the Town.
Note: Primary and secondary schools are exempt from having to provide end of trip facilities.

Local Planning Policy 3.13: Parking
Note: To be of suitable volume and dimensions to allow storage of clothing, towels, cycling helmets and footwear;
well ventilated, secure and lockable; and located close to shower and change room facilities (where provided). A
ratio of one locker to one bicycle space is to be provided.
Note: Change room facilities must also be provided and may either be a combined shower and change cubicle or
communal change room for each gender directly accessible from the showers.
4. Cash-in-lieu of parking
4.1 Cash-in-lieu of parking may be considered where developments have a shortfall of
parking according to the requirements outlined in the above land use parking
requirements table, where:
a) the Town may consider it undesirable for efficiency, traffic operation, pedestrian
amenity, traffic demand management, achievement of transport objectives or
other reasons for the specified parking to be provided totally on-site, or
b) the developer can show access to alternative options to accommodate the
transport access requirements of those potential users of the development for
whom on-site parking will not be provided, or
c) there exists adequate provision for car parking in the proximity of the proposed
development, or
d) the development will contribute significantly to the streetscape and will
encourage the upgrading of the locality, or
e) the Town is satisfied that public transport facilities are available to satisfy the
transport access demands of employees, residents and visitors to the
development, or
f) the physical constraints of the site (including geophysical constraints, small
block size, etc.) make on-site provision impracticable, or
g) it is impractical, because of the need to construct basement parking lower than
two levels, owing to the significant cost associated with deep basement parking
spaces.
4.2 Cash in lieu for parking can be applied for a maximum of 25% of the parking bay
requirement (calculated inclusive of any parking concessions as per Section 2 of
this Policy included which may also apply).
Note: To calculate the number of bays which cash-in-lieu is able to be paid, round the number of bays
to the nearest whole number and in the case of .5 rounded up.

4.3 All applications are to be signed by the owner of the premises and accompanied by
a Parking Management plan.
4.4 The cash in lieu payment will be calculated according to the following rates. These
values will be indexed to CPI each year (Perth, year ending 31 March), to reflect the
real value over time and will be updated on the Town's website and Schedule of
Fees and Charges.
$32,676 per bay in the following areas:
• Medical Zone (Precinct); and
• Floreat Forum.
$16,338 per bay in the following areas:
• West Leederville Activity Centre;
• Wembley Town Centre; and
• All other commercial areas.
4.5 The agreed fee shall be paid in two equal instalments, one immediately prior to
6
Local Planning Policy 3.13: Parking
commencement of the development and the balance prior to practical completion of
the development and prior to obtaining an Occupation Permit. In the case of an
application involving a change of use but not development works, the cash-in-lieu
payment shall be made in full prior to the commencement of the use, and before an
application is made for an Occupancy Permit.
4.6 The Town may require that a proportion, or all, of the parking bays required in any
approval to commence development be provided as cash in lieu or may set a
maximum proportion of parking bays for which applicants to provide cash in lieu.
4.7 Instead of accepting a cash in lieu payment, the Town may accept as a partial or full
substitute the transfer in fee simple of a parcel of land of equivalent value. The land
shall be transferred to the Town prior to commencement of development or
approval of strata plan or survey strata plan for the property, whichever occurs first.
4.8 If considered appropriate by the Town, in certain instances cash-in-lieu for shortfalls
in parking may not be accepted as an alternative means of providing acceptable
parking standards.
4.9 Income received as parking cash-in-lieu be allocated to a special fund for
accessibility improvements including, but not limited to:
• purchase of land for parking;
• construction of parking spaces by the Town or within a joint venture;
• a shuttle bus service in the Town;
• improving parking information system;
• real-time transit information system;
• security lights and improved pathways to access parking area;
• cycle paths and other cycling support facilities; and/or
• upgrading the design of on-street parking facilities.
Refer to Appendix 2 for map of cash-in-lieu collections areas and the correlating
areas in which cash-in-lieu of parking bays may be allocated.

5. Shared parking for mixed use developments


5.1 Parking may be shared for mixed use developments located on the same property
where it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Town that:
a) the peak demand for parking by two or more land uses will not occur at the
same time; and
b) the combined supply of car parking is sufficient to meet the estimated peak
combined demand; and
c) the arrangements are secured and that any future change of use will not result
in a shortfall in parking; and
d) shared parking arrangements are detailed within the Parking Management
Plan.
Note: To calculate peak parking demand, the following advice is provided:
a. Determine the minimum amount of parking required for each land use as though it were a
separate use, by time period;
b. Calculate the total parking required across uses for each time period; then
c. Set the requirement at the maximum total across time periods.

7
Local Planning Policy 3.13: Parking
6. Reciprocal parking
6.1 Reciprocal parking arrangements may be considered acceptable where it can be
demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Town that:
a) the peak demand for parking by two or more developments will not occur at the
same time; and
b) the combined supply of car parking is sufficient to meet the estimated peak
combined demand; and
c) the reciprocal parking areas are located so that people can access the parking
areas directly and safely from both developments and within 250m for
residents, professional services and medical facilities; within 350m for general
retail, employees, restaurants etc and within 500m for overflow parking and
major events; and
d) the arrangements are secured and that any future change of use will not result
in a shortfall in parking.
7. Design and Location of Parking
7.1 Car parking - Amenity
7.1.1 Car parking should generally be located at the rear of, or beneath,
developments.
7.1.2 In cases where car parks are approved and abut a street or public space, the
Town may require screening of the car parking area.
7.1.3 Parking areas must be sealed and landscaped to a high standard, with all
surface (open air) parking areas being landscaped with shade trees in
accordance with Local Planning Policy 3.16: Landscaping and Water
Sensitive Urban Design. Surface (open air) parking areas fronting a street
should also be appropriately landscaped to maintain a high visual standard of
development.
7.1.4 Any lighting installed on the building, yard areas or car parking areas shall be
located and designed in a manner that ensures:
a) all illumination is confined within the boundaries of the property; and
b) there will not be any nuisance caused to an adjoining residents or the
local area.
7.1.5 Large expanses of parking areas should be avoided. Parking areas should
be divided into smaller groups of spaces, separated by landscaping or other
development or activities, especially where parking areas are situated
adjacent to the street.
7.2 Car parking - Layout, allocations and dimensions
7.2.1 The allocation and location of each type of parking bay and the bay allocation
for each use must be specified on the planning approval in all cases. This will
include specific allocations of and locations of residential, commercial, visitor,
loading bays, disabled bays and any other specific bay parking as required
by the Town. The plans must provide for parking in accordance with
dimensions specified as per Australian Standard AS2890.1 - Off-street car
parking (as amended).
7.2.2 For consulting rooms, 50% of the off-street car parking requirement is to be
allocated to non-staff of the premises. Parking bays should be marked
accordingly in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards.

8
Local Planning Policy 3.13: Parking
7.3 Car parking - Traffic movement
7.3.1 Traffic circulation and manoeuvring spaces within parking areas should be
designed so that:
c) all vehicles can enter and exit the site in a forward direction unless the
Town is satisfied that the nature of a development and its relationship to,
or the nature of, adjoining streets makes it unnecessary to do so;
d) vehicles are able to queue, if necessary, within the parking areas; and
e) driver sight lines are not obstructed by signs, fencing or any other
obstacle.
7.4 Car parking - Safety
7.4.1 Pedestrian, cyclist and motorist safety should be a priority in the design and
operation of parking facilities, by ensuring that:
a) pedestrian and cyclist pathways through a parking area are clearly
defined, well lit and signposted, where required, with direct access to the
street or facilities serviced;
b) traffic access to, and circulation within parking areas, is separated, where
practicable, from pedestrian and cyclist paths or pedestrian access points
to or through a parking area; and
c) driver sight lines are not obstructed by signs, fencing, landscaping or any
other obstacle.
7.5 Car parking - Access
7.5.1 Vehicular access points to parking areas shall be located and designed so
that:
a) the number of entry/exit point is minimised and where possible, parking
areas and vehicular access points shall be linked;
b) access is obtained away from major traffic streets where possible but not
if this necessitates access from a residential street where undue
disturbance to residential amenity would result.
7.6 Bicycle parking
7.6.1 Short-stay bicycle parking devices should be located on-site in a convenient
and secure position close to the entrance of the premises. Where the
building is built up to the front boundary and there is no other suitable
location, the Town may accept short-stay bicycle parking in the road reserve
adjacent to the building, where there is sufficient room.
7.6.2 Long-stay bicycle parking devices should be located on-site in a convenient
and secure location for employees or students, positioned close to and
directly visible from inside the place of employment or educational institution.
7.6.3 Bicycle parking devices should be designed in accordance with Austroads
Part 14 – Bicycles and meet the following criteria:
• enable wheels and frame to be locked to the device without damaging
the bicycle;
• be placed in public view;
• be located outside pedestrian movement paths;
• be easily accessible from the road;

9
Local Planning Policy 3.13: Parking
• be arranged so that parking and unparking manoeuvres will not damage
adjacent bicycles;
• be protected from manoeuvring motor vehicles and opening car doors;
• be well lit by appropriate existing or new lighting (where applicable);
• be protected from the weather; and
• be designed to fit in harmony with the surrounding environment.
8. Parking Management Plan
8.1 A Parking Management Plan shall be prepared to the satisfaction of the Town for;
• any development application that proposes 10 or more parking spaces;
• mixed use developments;
• where a proposal seeks a variation to the parking ratios as specified in Table 1;
• where a proposal seeks reciprocal car parking;
• where a proposal seeks cash in lieu of parking; or
• where a proposal seeks alternative methods of car parking (including, but not
limited to car stackers and/or turntables);
8.2 A Parking Management Plan should outline in detail how parking for the proposed
development will be managed and identify practical strategies to minimise parking
conflicts between different users. The Parking Management Plan should include:
• property information such as address, land use and contact details of the
responsible person(s) for the day to day management of the parking (if known);
• number of parking spaces per category (for example tenant/staff spaces,
customer and/or visitor spaces, spaces for persons with a disability, loading
spaces) and number and type of bicycle spaces (short-stay or long-stay);
• public parking (on-street and off-street) availability within 250 metres of the
pedestrian entry of the development;
• In certain instances a vehicle manoeuvrability plan may be required to
demonstrate different size vehicles have the ability to adequately enter and exit
the premises in forward gear;
• availability of public transport and pedestrian and cycling facilities serving the
premises; and
• strategies to be employed to manage parking demand on site.
8.3 The allocation and location of bays including the various types of parking bay
required and the specific uses for which the parking is provided as specified in the
Parking Management Plan and any strata plan, shall be accordance with the details
in the planning approval.
8.4 A Parking Management Plan forms part of the planning approval. Any proposed
amendments to an approved Parking Management Plan are therefore submitted
and processed as an amended plan application to the Town.
9. Transport Impact Assessment
9.1 A Transport Impact Statement or Assessment prepared by a certified Traffic
Engineer is required for:
• Land use/s that generate moderate to high traffic volumes and/or movements;

10
Local Planning Policy 3.13: Parking
• Child day care centre applications;
• Where a proposal results in a requirement for 50 car bays or more; or
• Where deemed necessary by the Town.
Note: Moderate and High traffic volumes are stipulated in Table 1 of the Transport Impact Assessment
Guidelines.

9.2 The Transport Impact Statement or Assessment shall be prepared in accordance


with the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Transport Impact Assessment
Guidelines.
